CHAPTER TEN

                                    

                                          
I haven't seen Ace in two days. Two days. After the whole thing about trust issues. Today, I am alone at home when Mike walks in. He halts upon seeing me. He looks confused.
"I've been wanting to talk to you." I say as I calmly sip my coffee.
Mike looks around nervously. As Luna of the pack he has to obey me. He nods and tilts his head. Waiting me to speak. Placing the cup in it's saucer, I slowly make my way to him. He really looks nervous.
"I want to know what you and Ace have been doing behind close doors. Alone." I say.
Mike actually looks scared and confused.
"That is up to the Alpha to-" he says and I hold up my hand to cut him off.
"Call him. Now." I demand.
Mike's eyes glaze over and I know he is mind linking Ace. I give a satisfied smile. Suddenly, Ace and Josh appear in the kitchen. Josh looks amused while Ace and Mike look anxious. I look at Ace and make my most innocent face, faking hurt and letting tears gather in my eyes. Ace immediately looks guilty.
"Do you hate me, Ace. Please don't reject me. I will die." I cry dramatically. 
Ace looks like he has no idea what to do. Mike shifts nervously on his feet. Josh has a huge smile on his face. Ace grabs me and wipes my years away tentatively.
"Shhh. Never. You are my life, Remi. I'm sorry for being an ass to you. I swear I never meant to hurt you, sweetheart. Please, believe me. Listen, I promise, from today onwards you will be my first priority. Okay?" Ace says. 
I push him away and dramatically fall on the couch, crying loud.
"I'm sorry about Pablo. I just wanted him to look me in the face and tell me why he chose power over his family. But you didn't trust me. You hurt me, Ace. How can I ever confide in you? " I say.
Ace looks torn. He kneels down beside the couch and moves my hair away from my face.
"I'm sorry, my love, please forgive me. I misunderstood you and you didn't deserve that." He says.
"Make it up to me?" I say slowly. Ace nods. He turns to Mike and Josh.
"Prepare a public conference. All pack members must attend." Ace says.
They both nod and leave. I throw myself in Ace's arms and grin secretly as he holds me tight against his chest.
Few hours later
I stand with mom as Ace makes his way to the stage. Mom grabs my hand. I squeeze her hand. Ace looks around the hall, at his pack.
"Good evening. I have called you here to clear up a few misunderstandings. Your Luna, my mate, didn't betray the pack. She, like all of us, wanted answers from Pablo. She wanted him to trust her so he could confide in her. We all owe her an apology." Ace says. 
To my astoundishent everyone turns time and bows. I smile broadly. I almost jump in excitement. Mom gives me a huge smile, so does Ace.
Later
"That was a clever move." Josh says. I smile.
"Thank you." I say. Josh smiles. Just then Ace approaches us.
" Hey." Ace says, pulling me into his arms. I sigh in happiness.
"Hey." I say, resting my head on his massive chest.
"Excuse me." Josh says and walks away.
I smile up at Ace and he smiles back.
"Do you truly forgive me?" Ace asks nervously. 
"Yes. I should have explained things sooner." I say. Ace smiles down at me.
"I want to do something. Can I?" He asks and I nod.
Ace lowers his head and smashes his lips against mine. I moan in suprise. I kiss him back immediately and he groans. He lifts me up and walks upstairs, not breaking the kiss. I clung to him as I let him devour me. Ace softly places me on the bed and climbs on top of me, still kissing me. I wrap my arms and legs around him. Ace lifts his head up and looks at me.
"Mark me." He says. 
I smile. I push him on his back and climb on top of him. We continue kissing passionately. Then my canines come out and I sink my teeth in his flesh. Ace groans in pleasure, tightening his hold on me. I kiss him and watch him as his eyes close. I smile at him. He gives me a lazy smile.

Josh and Mike are in the kitchen when Ace and I walk in. So is mom.  Their conversation ceases as we walk in. They try and fail to hide their amused looks. Ace ignores them and pours me a glass of water. I take it and smile at him. Mike clears his throat and Josh flashes me a smile. Mom has a huge grin on her face.
"So .......we felt the bond last night." Mom says. I smile.
"Yeah......" Ace says and winks at me. I give him a broad smile and take a sip of the water. 
Laughing, we all sit down and eat breakfast. The conversation remains light and comfortable. After breakfast, I decide to take a walk in the woods while Ace and the guys go the training grounds. As I walk around, I listen to the plants whispering to me. I lean against a tree and close my eyes.
White wolf, run. White wolf , run.
The plants are chanting. I straighten up and look around frantically. What is happening? Before I can do anything, I am roughly grabbed from behind. It's a man. I can feel his strength. One hand holds both my arms behind me while one rough hand is covering my mouth. I struggle against the man but he is way too stronger than me. I kick and try to loosen his grasp on me. 
I am pushed against a tree and I hit my head, groaning in pain, I close my eyes and focus on Ace. I don't know how to initiate the mind link. Ace never taught me.
Suddenly, the man is grabbed from me. With a frown I turn and realise that the plants are holding the man in a tight grasp. His feet are not touching the ground and he looks like he's losing his breath. I notice that the man's face is burnt. He is bald and huge. I see some branches going through his skin and blood pours from his mouth and wounds. The sight is horrible. Not knowing what to do, I close my eyes and let out a sickening scream. Birds flock from the trees into the sky.
In seconds, Ace, Mike and Josh appear Infront of me. 
"What happened?" Ace asks. I point to the man still struggling against the plants. He is weakening and chocking on his blood. Mike and Josh look shocked and confused.
"He....he....he tried....." I start. I can't form a complete sentence.
"Shhh. It's okay. Let him go." Ace says. I frown.
"I don't know how. I swear." I say.
"There.....there are more.....you can't hide from.....them....white wolf." The man says and goes limb.
We all stare at him, confused and wary. Ace pulls me into his arms. We watch as the plants drop the man and retreat back. I hug Ace tighter.
"I won't let anyone harm you. I promise you, Luna " Ace says.
"He's dead." Mike says. I close my eyes and sigh.
"Alpha, why don't you take the Luna home? We'll take care of......this pest." Josh says. Ace nods and picks me up, bridal style, walking away.
